The radiator is mounted under the seat, and apparently works well. “The cooling fans are standard … they draw a huge amount of cool air from around the engine into the front of the wedge, and of course all the hot air is blown down and away from the seat. So the seat temp is quite normal.”
Good eye there Derb. I missed that part in the write up. Tell ya what though -- those RSV's run warm with the stock radiator out in front in the air stream. I see what the guy says but I'd have to test drive it to believe it.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

An air-cooled Desmo twin would look the part (much better) in that frame.

as long as you are going fast enough its probably fine, just don't take a cafe "racer" like that to downtown LA rush hour traffice then its probably horrible.

Beautiful!
No clear pics of the left side, where I assume the coolant hoses reside. I'd sure like to see how they are routed back to the radiator!
Edit
: OK, I see two coolant hoses, but only one connected to the radiator. Where is the other hose?

Yep, that's beautiful. The Aprilia and the KTM's are really nice compact engines.
Isn't that tank an old Norton knockoff? Love those tanks.
